Directions

In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat coated lightly with oil, sauté chicken until almost cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add onions, carrot, celery, and jicama, season with salt and pepper, and toss. Add sweet soy deglazing mixture and sauté; allow to reduce almost completely. Check flavor and season if necessary.

Meanwhile, preheat a fryer or stockpot filled 1/3 full with oil heated to 400 degrees F. Fry vermicelli and remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

To serve, divide chicken mixture among 4 small bowls and place on 4 dinner plates. Divide Bibb lettuce leaves and mung bean vermicelli among plates. Make a lettuce wrap and enjoy! Alternatively, serve in a bento box for extra fun.
